Hemp Seed oil is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. The extraction occurs through cold-pressing. The many health benefits of hemp seed oil come from its high content of three polyunsaturated fatty acids: Omega-3 (Alpha-linolenic acid), Omega-6 (Linoleic acid) and Omega-9 (Gamma-linolenic acid). These fatty acids are named 'essential' because the body cannot produce them which means they must be consumed in food or supplements.
The increasing awareness of the health advantages of Hemp Seed Oil has increased the demand for Hemp Seed supplements - today there are many different forms available such as; gummy vitamins, powders, liquids, tablets/pills, capsules and gummies or complexes. It can also be used in many topical products such as; skin creams, body lotions, hand creams, lip balms, massage oils and hair products such as shampoos and conditioners.
